Structured questions to guide crowdsourcing a federalist manifesto, evaluating alignment with federal principles. Themes include federalism vs. intergovernmentalism, fiscal policy, democracy, identity, subsidiarity, and transition. Targets contradictions, ambiguities, and key decisions
The Rome Manifesto emerged in 2017 from a collaboration of young European scholars and professionals, supported by United Europe and Villa Vigoni. It was crafted to address EU crises, reimagine integration, and reflect the pro-European vision of younger generations.
The Rome Manifesto offers a foundation for a federal Europe but requires updates. Addressing fiscal union, federal competences, and governance structures is essential for realizing a true European Federal Union.

This simplified structure would restore trust, enhance democratic legitimacy, and better address Europe’s modern challenges
